[issue11800] regrtest --timeout: apply the timeout on a function, not on the whole file

If regrtest timeout is too close to the buildbot timeout, we may not get the traceback if the blocking test is the last test.

I don't know yet if we will get false positive with a timeout of 60 minutes.

Another *minor* advantage of a smaller regrtest timeout is to "protect" the buildbot: catching faster a hang avoids to wait one hour to start a new build. Most hangs are sporadic or introduced by recent commits.
